To Start

Mom came in the morning, helped you pack your bags
She came without a warning, jet-lagged
She hardly made it up the stairs, her knees are on the go
Don't need to see to believe, she told me so

"If not now, when?"
Is how it's always been
It's on you
To start anew again

Dad came in the evening, helped you load the car
Looks can be deceiving, he couldn't walk that far
So you walk those stairs alone for the last time
Mom was nowhere to be found, she didn't say goodbye

"If not now, when?"
Is how it's always been
It's on you
To start anew again

Roll your window down, see the night sky
You'll wake up with pneumonia, but you won't die
Look over to your dad, sitting at the wheel
You don't have to say a word, he knows how you feel

"If not now, when?"
Is how it's always been
It's on you
To start anew again
It's on you
To start anew again
It's on you
To start anew again
